Paintings By William S. Hung ( William Shih-Chieh Hung )

William S. Hung's works display a profound knowledge of the traditions and techniques of both East and West.

In harmony of composition and precision of execution, they reflect the restraint and refinement of the Chinese tradition. In the use of gauzy layers of color to build images from flakes of light, he recalls the 19th century French artists, while his subjects are often reminiscent of classical sources. Extraordinarily gifted and thoroughly schooled, he produces exquisitely sensitive, intellectually provocative, and delicately rendered portraits and nudes."
